1. the pillows (ザ・ピロウズ) are an alternative rock band from Hokkaidō, Japan, best known outside Japan for their contributions to the soundtrack of the anime series FLCL (Fooly Cooly).
They consist of 山中さわお (Sawao Yamanaka) -vocals & guitar-, 真鍋吉明 (Yoshiaki Manabe) -guitar-, 佐藤シンイチロウ (Shinichiro Sato) -drums-.
The band officially formed on September 16, 1989 as a four-man group. The fourth man and original bassist, 上田ケンジ (Kenji Ueda), left the band in 1992 to become a music producer and do solo work. Since then, 鹿島達也 (Tatsuya Kashima) and later 鈴木淳 (Jun Suzuki) have taken his place as supporting bassists. Neither Kashima nor Suzuki have been named official members out of respect for Ueda.

ハイエナのコメンテーター
左で右で白くて黒いって
朝からマトモじゃないね
爆弾騒ぎ 犬は吠えてる
けど僕には関係ないぜ
乱れた宗教 見慣れた空虚
もっともっと悔い足りないんだ
だから
カーテンコールプリーズ
エンドロールフリーズ
まだ席を立っちゃもったいない
Hey!
Terminal heaven's rock!
満たされないモンスターに
口づけを
セキュリティー破りのピーピングゲーム
知りすぎたベビーシッター
ベッドで数えたヒットポイント
セコンド頼んでたっけ
自殺未遂 犬は逃げ出した
けど僕には関係ないぜ
星降るイースター 腰振るシスター
もっともっと喰い足りないんだ
そうさ
カーテンコールプリーズ
エンドロールフリーズ
もう帰るだなんてトンデモナイ
Hey!
Terminal heaven's rock!
救われないロッカーに
愛の手を
密売トラブル 犬は死んだって
けど僕には関係ないぜ
ジパングマフィア 自慢のマリア
Baby どっか連れ出したいな
だから
カーテンコールプリーズ
エンドロールフリーズ
ひとり飽きたなんて言えそうもない
Hey!
Terminal heaven's rock!
加速していく人類に祝福を
Terminal heaven's rock!
死にそこねたロッカーに冥福を
The lyrics of The Pillows's song TERMINAL HEAVEN'S ROCK can be interpreted as a commentary on the modern world and its obsession with media and technological advances. The singer of the song is disillusioned with society and its institutions, with lyrics suggesting that the media is no longer trustworthy and that religion has lost its meaning. The overarching theme of the song seems to be the search for fulfillment and a sense of purpose in a world that has become increasingly complex and confusing.
The lyrics also touch on themes of violence and desperation, as evidenced by references to suicide attempts and mafia involvement. However, despite the bleak subject matter, the chorus of the song offers a glimmer of hope, with the repeated phrase "Terminal heaven's rock!" seemingly offering solace to those who are lost and searching for meaning. Overall, the song appears to be a call to arms for those who feel disillusioned or disconnected from society, urging listeners to find their own sense of purpose and meaning in a rapidly changing world.
